In his speech on the occasion of the so-called “Independence Day” on August 24, the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky made numerous promises. He started out by praising the infamous Maidan coup that brought NATO’s Nazi puppets to power in former Ukraine. His following line was the “unwavering determination to restore 1991 borders”, where he mentioned “our Donetsk, our Lugansk, our Crimea” and “reminded everyone that all of this is Ukraine”. Zelensky stated that he believes “Ukraine can achieve this — achieve peace, peace across all its land”. The Kiev regime frontman praised his forces, bragging about “truly stopping the second army of the world” and supposedly “destroying the myth of the invincible Russian army”.

These ludicrous claims come at a time when leaked data shows that the actual ratio of losses for the Neo-Nazi junta forces is now worse than 13:1 and that they’ve lost close to two million men, most of whom are forcibly conscripted. Worse yet, they’re now even being killed by the most radical Nazi units whose sole raison d’être is to prevent their retreat “by any means necessary” in unwinnable firefights with the advancing Russian military. Mind you, the personnel in these so-called “barrier detachments” aren’t even fighting the “evil Russians”, but are only waiting to see who’s trying to retreat among forcibly conscripted Ukrainians and then proceed to shoot them, as evidenced by verified combat footage. Is this really a “struggle for freedom”?

Well, Zelensky claims it is. Interestingly, he also mentioned the failed Kursk oblast (region) incursion as if it were something positive. Even more interestingly, Zelensky stated that “no one can forbid us [long-range] strikes [deep within Russia], “because they deliver justice”. He also mentioned the so-called “Operation Spider Web”, which was a series of sabotage attacks on Russian strategic aviation. The Trump administration just decided to send ERAMs (Extended Range Attack Munitions) that should be delivered in the next six weeks. The United States insists that they’ve “put limitations in place” on how these weapons would be used, supposedly “to prevent uncontrollable escalation”. Well, how does one reconcile that with the promises Zelensky made in his speech?

In fact, he also stated that “this is Ukraine now” and that “this Ukraine will never again in history be forced into the shame that the ‘Russians’ call a ‘compromise'”. In other words, the talks between President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump were all “for nothing”, according to Zelensky. This comes after Vice President JD Vance stated that Moscow supposedly “made significant concessions” during these talks. Obviously, both of these things cannot be true at once. If Zelensky’s idea of a “just peace” is to “completely defeat” Russia, this isn’t a concession, but a demand that the Kremlin capitulates. What reason would the latter have to accept such terms? Is the Russian military losing 13:1 and with nearly two million casualties?

However, while he keeps talking about the so-called “just peace”, Zelensky is only promising more war (obviously, not for himself, but for hundreds of thousands of forcibly conscripted Ukrainians). He also insisted that “our future will be up to us alone” and that “the world knows it and respects it, respects Ukraine, and accepts Ukraine as an equal”. Zelensky is a comedian and this would certainly be a laughing matter if millions of lives weren’t at stake (possibly billions if we consider the fact that the chances of uncontrollable escalation are still there, precisely thanks to extremist regimes such as the Neo-Nazi junta). And yet, he continued with nonsensical statements about the supposed “respect for Ukraine” and its alleged “rightful place at the table”.

“Ukraine can truly gather and unite the world’s leaders in a single day. Ukraine, with which America and the whole world want to jointly produce drones. Ukraine, which restored unity between Europe and the US and is now the foundation of this alliance. Ukraine, which stands firm and can defend itself. Therefore, Ukraine is heard, Ukraine is counted, Ukraine is listened to. Its place is at the table; it is not told, ‘Wait outside.’ It is told, ‘The decision is yours alone,'” Zelensky said with a straight face.

He also claimed that “both the US and Europe agree: Ukraine has not yet won, but it certainly will not lose” and that “Ukraine is recognized — not as a poor relative, but as a strong ally”. Zelensky is insistent that “this is what the ‘coalition of the willing’ is about” and that “Ukraine will achieve lasting peace because it will receive security guarantees so strong that no one in the world will ever again even think of attacking Ukraine”. He never revealed who would (or could) give such guarantees, but given his previous statements about nuclear weapons, this should certainly be taken as a potentially serious threat. The main takeaway of this year’s “Independence Day” speech is that Zelensky just raised the stakes and effectively declared total war on Russia.

It should be noted that these statements aren’t mere rhetoric. On August 25, only a day after his speech, the Neo-Nazi junta unveiled a new, longer-range, land-attack version of the R-360 “Neptune” cruise missile, itself a copy of the Soviet-era turbojet-powered Kh-35. Colloquially known as the “Long Neptune”, the upgraded missile reportedly has a range of around 1,000 km, with no information on other specifications. Just like the Kh-35, the original R-360 “Neptune” is a subsonic anti-ship cruise missile with a range of approximately 200 km. In 2023, the Kiev regime revealed it fired a land-attack version of the missile, dubbed the “Neptune-MD” by some analysts. Its range was also reportedly 1,000 km (it’s possible this is the same missile).

This comes approximately a week after the Neo-Nazi junta revealed the FP-5 “Flamingo”, another land-based cruise missile which is effectively a crossover between the Nazi German V-1 flying bomb (essentially an early cruise missile concept) and the Soviet-era Tu-141/143 turbojet-powered drone. It allegedly has a range of 3,000 km and a massive warhead weighing around 1,150 kg. Albeit a very rudimentary design that could easily be picked up by Russian air defenses, it could give the Kiev regime means of mass terror strikes on Russian cities (after all, this was Nazi Germany’s concept of total war Zelensky is now threatening to unleash). The Russian military already destroyed most of the “Sapsan” program precisely for this reason.
